Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 88

(088)

“Don’t even think about moving. I know you can use telekinesis with just your mind. If you move just one finger, I’ll slit his throat.”

“Don’t listen to this!

Sega watched the events unfolding before his eyes with a feeling of unreality.

‘Is that so?’

I’ve seen and experienced some crazy things at this school, but this is one of the few that stands out.

‘Was it like that?’

I knew that Joo Ra-hyun and Joo Da-hyun weren’t on good terms, but I didn’t know they would treat their cousin like this.

‘You were leaving the fish in the care of the cat.’

I really couldn’t have imagined that Na Yeo-su would become attached to Joo Ra-hyun.

“Sega. Take off your protective vest and terminal.”

If you think rationally, running away would have been the right answer.

However, the students around Joo Ra-hyun also seemed to be quite talented, and more than anything, they knew too much about Joo Da-hyun.

“……I get it.”

She was the daughter of Dr. Joo Myung-hwan, who developed a stimulant and saved humanity, and lost everything at the age of fifteen after being accused of killing her father.

Although she appeared to act like an arrogant young lady, she actually cried a lot.

Although he boasted of the power of a tycoon from the Maseok dynasty, he was unable to use his powers properly due to the trauma of his father’s death and the prosecution’s investigation.

However, in order not to become a burden to the 8th group, he used all the large sums of money he received from mission evaluations and other things to buy various medicines, magic activation potions, and magic affinity potions.

Although he has a childish palate, he also has a bit of a snobbery and likes fancy sweets.

I pretended not to know because I was aware of the situation, but in reality I knew everything.

Sega unhooked the terminal from his wrist and took off his protective vest, placing it on the floor.

Several students next to Jurahyun let out a deep sigh of relief.

If Jeong Se-ga had gone wild like, “You die, I die,” I don’t know how things would have turned out.

“Put your sword away.”

Nayeosu glared at Sega and shouted angrily.

“Sega! No. Ugh!”

Clear blood flowed from Joo Da-hyun’s neck, which had touched the blade of the karambit.

Sega took a step back, even putting down on the floor the expensive Teeth Blade, which was a mixture of Dragon Bone and Turtle Cell.

“… … .”

Na Yeo-su looked at Jura-hyeon.

“Ah. Good job! Hey. Go catch him.”

Jurahyun gave orders to the students next to him.

Hot.

The 13th class’s body magicians approached and grabbed Sega’s arms tightly.

Sega was dragged all the way to Jurahyun as they were dragged.

Nayeosu stared at him intently, her long eyelashes shining with a green light.

“Na Yeo-su.”

Sega called her name confidently as always.

“… … .”

She didn’t answer.

“Why on earth are you doing this?”

Silence.

“You really didn’t know? Yeosu, you disguised yourself well?”

It was Joo Ra-hyun who broke the silence.

“Rahyun-ah.”

Na Yeo-su gave her a desperate look as if telling her not to do that, but Joo Ra-hyun continued talking, mocking her with a proud yet sadistic laugh.

“Hey, you’re a slave trader, right? You’re the one who sells Korean hunters to Southeast Asia as slaves.”

Slavery.

It wasn’t a word that came out in the 21st century.

* * *

“Slave contract?”

Jurahyun answered Sega’s question with a show-off attitude.

“Yes. Our country needs to maintain regional hegemony against Japan and the Chinese Federation, and to do that, we need to maintain influence in Southeast Asia. The best influence in the world these days is to send Hunters. We can show how strong we are by capturing the demons, import various byproducts and magic stones cheaply, and intervene militarily in times of emergency. However, Korean Hunters don’t want to go to Southeast Asia.”

It was a similarly arrogant attitude to Joo Da-hyun, but much less fortunate.

“I can’t believe a promising S-class kid doesn’t even know this.”

Sega has a rough idea of ??Jurahyun’s personality.

‘The need for recognition is trauma. I always feel better when I’m the center of attention.’

“Why?”

He asked, leaning forward slightly as if he was very curious about her story.

When Sega, the legend of the first grade, showed interest, Jurahyun continued talking excitedly as expected.

“The jungle is dirty for hunting. There are many difficult monsters to deal with, such as the irregular, infectious, and eroding types. The hunting trend among Korean hunters these days is to fly a helicopter over plains like Siberia, Eastern Europe, and Australia and burn them to the horizon. When is it annoying to hunt them one by one in the jungle?”

“Then isn’t Southeast Asia a place that doesn’t make money for the guild?”

“The big guilds don’t even bother with it. But for the small and medium guilds, it’s a decent niche market. And the government also wants Korean hunters to be active there, so they turn a blind eye to hunters who go to Southeast Asia being treated in a way that violates labor laws. This guy does that kind of work.”

Joo Ra-hyun looked at Na Yeo-su.

It was a look like that of a high official from the Joseon Dynasty looking at a Baekjeong.

“If he somehow manages to expel a promising prospect who doesn’t know much about the industry, a guild with ties to Southeast Asia will come and tell him. A kid who is suffering from the aftereffects of being expelled will stamp his seal without knowing anything, and he will be dragged into the jungle, worked like a dog, and die a dog’s death.”

“Then why did you stay next to Iljinrim?”

“If you’re from an ordinary family from Gyeongsang-do or Jeolla-do, you have parents. If you take them as orphans, there won’t be any trouble later.”

Sega looked at Nayeosu.

His blue eyes sparkled with cold anger and cruel compassion.

“Is it true?”

Na Yeo-su answered.

“Yes, it’s true.”

* * *

A first-class explorer and low-level lightning wizard with healthy, tanned copper skin and luscious hair.

We went out together on mission evaluations, risked our lives fighting against raiders, distributed a huge amount of loot worth over 200 million won, and divided up artifacts.

Just two days ago, we had been drinking together and staying up all night.

“Yeah. That’s what happened.”

Nayeosu smiled bitterly at Sega.

“It was from the beginning. Right after the Portrait Management Department dropped out of the competition to recruit you. I thought I was going crazy. The higher-ups were pestering me to get you out somehow, but how could I, a mere explorer, eliminate you? Even if I did eliminate you, how could I take you when the entire guild would rush to take you?”

“… … .”

“Then Ra-hyeon came to me. She said she would look after me, so please do something about my damn cousin. It’s true that we’re just petty kids, but if the Shinseoul Maseok conglomerate is behind us, it’s different.”

“Are you going to deal with Joo Da-hyun in exchange for selling me out?”

Sega asked bitterly.

“Yeah. That’s right.”

Na Yeo-su answered clearly.

“You are the most promising young talent of this class, and in three years, you will become a giant that my hands will never be able to reach. However, you are still just a young talent, and the Maseok conglomerate can easily handle it.”

Joo Da-hyun twisted her body as she was held in her arms.

“This fucking bitch. Yeah. I should’ve split your head open the moment I saw you hanging around Sega.”

Nayeosu’s karambit knife scratched her neck, but she paid no attention and glared at her cousin.

“???. ? ???? ??? ??? ??? ??. ?? ????? ??. ????? ???? ??? ? ????!”

Jurahyun frowned and stretched out her hands into the air.

Sega saw a hand made of blue magic cut through the air and strangle Judahyun’s neck.

“Shut up. Shut up! From that moment on, I wanted you to disappear from my sight. Everyone saw that I was more powerful, that I was smarter and more versatile, but the adults only liked my sister.”

Jurahyun expressed her anger with such force that it seemed like a dam was collapsing.

“Why do pharmaceutical company executives have to be superhumans who can move mountains and fill oceans? Do you think I’d give up my dreams because of the stubbornness of old farts who are traumatized by the destruction?”

“Dr. Joo… … your daughter… … is me. Not you.”

“I developed the portrait charcoal. In this day and age, do you think it’s okay for someone with no ability to inherit a company just because they’re someone’s daughter? Absolutely not. Absolutely not.”

She released Joo Da-hyun’s neck only when her white face turned red and she was about to lose her breath.

“Yes. We can’t kill them yet. We’re still in Shinseoul.”

Joo Da-hyun let out a ragged breath, and Joo Ra-hyun winked at Na Yeo-su.

“But I don’t think there’s any need to keep him alive.”

Nayeosu put strength into the hand holding the karambit.

“This crazy kid!”

Sega twisted his body.

bang!

‘What kind of strength… … I thought I could at least somehow endure the martial arts!’

The 13th Squad’s bodyguard who had been holding his right arm was instantly pinned to the floor.

‘This guy is a total master, not an all-rounder?’

The gauge on the protective vest flashed red, and the caster, who was pinned to the ground, trembled.

“Put the knife down.”

Just before Sega leaped towards Yeosu, two bodyguards grabbed Sega’s left arm and neck respectively.

Bam.

Sega tried to use the heat ray, but the female student next to Jurahyun was faster as she reached out and shot out an electric ray.

Phage crackle!

Yellow lightning stretched out like tree branches and covered Sega.

“Huh!”

It felt like his whole body was frozen, but Sega gritted his teeth and walked towards Dahyun.

‘I’m using more force now than when I shocked a medium-sized demon. But my resistance is higher than that of the demon?!’

The female student who had fired the lightning bolt grabbed her right wrist with her left hand and increased the output.

“You took off your protective vest for nothing!”

Only after several flashes of yellow electricity did Sega get down on one knee on the floor.

thud.

The next moment, Nayeo-su’s karambit stabbed Joo Da-hyun’s side from below.

Sigh.

A gray blade made from the devil’s claws slid between my ribs and then came out as if nothing had happened.

Immediately afterwards, an unbelievable amount of blood gushed out from that small body, dyeing the shirt red.

“Three… … go. Don’t come.”

Dahyun’s face turned pale in an instant, and her breathing became ragged.

At that moment, Sega’s mind recalled the events that had occurred in the laboratory on the day of the designated mission.

‘I’ll stop it. Find the potion quickly!’

At that time, Na Yeo-su searched the entire lab for the remaining potions and medicine in order to save Joo Da-hyun, who had been treating her rudely.

From that moment on, Sega began to truly trust Yeosu.

Now, Na Yeo-su was trying to kill Joo Da-hyun, whom she had saved with her own hands, with her own hands.

“Catch him! Catch him!”

“The force is so strong.”

“Bring me a chain! A chain, not a rope!”

The students who followed Jurahyun grabbed Sega and pinned him to the floor.

chin.

Sega placed both hands on the floor and glared at Yeosu.

A ghostly red light appeared in his blue eyes.

“We had a pretty good time.”

The voice coming out of his mouth was faintly sad, full of regret and self-loathing.

“Yeah. That was good.”

Yeosu twirled the bloody karambit around, giggling self-deprecatingly.

“But you have dreams to achieve, and I have realities to live.”

Dahyun, who was held by her left arm, let out rough breaths and trembled.

‘No matter how much you fly and crawl, you’re only one person.’

Jurahyun watched as her faction subdued Sega.

It seemed like he had completely given up, as he wasn’t using any of his vaunted lightning, telekinesis, or pyromancy techniques.

‘huh?’

But his eyes were burning more fiercely than ever.

It was not the gaze of a weak human being who had surrendered to fate.

Fire, fire! Fire!

Blue electric sparks flew around Sega’s hair.

“… … Yes. I have a dream to achieve.”

Black veins rose up on the hand that touched the floor.

“¦¦¦-!”

The next moment, an invisible wave burst out from the center of the square.

thud!

The magical power of the area shook and dust rose up.

Even the rigid caster who could deflect a sniper rifle bullet and the pyromancer who could create a pillar of fire that could swallow up several villas were frozen, unable to move even a fingertip.

“Whoa!”

Even she, a tycoon of the magic stone family, felt her whole body freeze and had a headache.

However, the damage was not as great as the impact.

“what?”

“It was nothing!”

“Catch me again!”

Just when the students were starting to relax.

“Joo, Jurahyun!”

A student explorer came running like crazy from a cave.

“The demons are coming!”

“How many?”

“I don’t know!”

“what?”

The demons poured into all the caves in the common area.

“Keeeeeeeeeek-!”

Crawling beetles on the ground, flying crickets, locust-like swarms, acid-spewing swarms, large and small snakes… … .

“Fuck!”

“what’s this?”

“I couldn’t find it when I looked for it!”

The students who had been holding Sega stood up in panic, clutching swords and machine guns.

Nayeosu also started fighting with Masu over Dahyun in order to survive.

“What have you done?!”

Jurahyun’s astonished scream was drowned out by the cries of the demon.

‘Dahyun, I’m sorry. You were right.’

Flutter.

Sega quickly pulled the hood of his hideout over himself with his telekinesis, grabbed Dahyun and his sword, and ran back into the cave he had come from.
